Ebook: "How to spread using a Java drive-by"
Author: My Mom
Price: $69

Official Review by nick__name

[img]http://upit.cc/images/82278841.png[/img] - 5/5 - The ideas for spreading appear to be plausible and are explained in great detail. The author uses his own experiences to guide you towards what works and cautions you away from what does not.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/50e1b4f4.png[/img] - 3/5 - This walkthrough provides detailed instructions for spreading with your Java driveby; this includes scripted responses and locations in which you can successfully spread. However, most of the methods do require a significant time committment.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/aea97688.png[/img] - 5/5 - This guide has been done very professionally and presents the information in a clearcut manner, complete with a table of contents.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/5fe7ea0d.png[/img] - 4/5 - There are a few errors in spelling and grammar, but these minor mistakes do not detract greatly from the readability of the guide. It is very easy to follow.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/a7bd16f6.png[/img] - 3/5 - The guide does involve public, known methods. The unique benefit of this guide is the author's inclusion of his detailed scripted responses.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/99eae7f1.png[/img] - 4/5 - Overall, this guide is detailed and very easy to follow. While it makes use of public methods, the author includes many scripted responses that add greatly to its value. If you are not great at improv, this is the guide for you. More advanced users that are able to think and respond on-the-fly will not get as much benefit out of it. The main drawback of this guide is its steep $69 price tag.

Title: "How to Social Engineer successfully."
Price: $19.99
Resale Rights: No
Author: Reece
Reviewer: A Nice Guy

[img]http://i27.[censored].com/2551kdu.png[/img]
This eBook has some of the most in depth and high quality information I have ever seen. It goes in depth, showing you what prerequisites are needed and how to become a true social engineer.
5/5

[img]http://i30.[censored].com/975usp.png[/img]
It is extremely easy to use. The way he demonstrates each step and provides a screenshot for them as well, makes me thing a 5th grader could read it fluently.
5/5

[img]http://i28.[censored].com/2i27fah.png[/img]
The layout was marvelous. It comes in a PDF file and everything is planned out for you step by step. He used several colors and fonts to indicate where to point your attention and where the important information is.
5/5

[img]http://i25.[censored].com/1t39cj.png[/img]
I saw a few mistakes that vaguely caught my eye. It was not so much that it threw me off, but rather misplaced commas, etc etc.
4.5/5

[img]http://i31.[censored].com/1z686c3.png[/img]
There are similar eBooks that pertain to this same topic, but reading this made me feel like the other books I have read are mediocre, truly amazing.
4/5

[img]http://i29.[censored].com/n3oy7b.png[/img]
This is one of the "must have" eBooks. This is a must have for anyone who plans on Social Engineering in the future. You will not learn as much in any other eBook. The author has truly outdone himself.

Overall: 4.7/5

E-book Review

Information
E-Book Title: How to Build a Computer for Beginners
Author: James Madison
Number of Pages: 209
Price: $25.50
Payment Methods: PayPal and Alert Pay

Review (Based a scale of 1 being the lowest and 5 being highest)


[img]http://upit.cc/images/82278841.png[/img]
4.9/5
This e-book deserves a 4.9 out of 5. The quality of information that the author supplies to the reader is out standing. I have deduced .1 point because the title of this e-book is "How to Build a Computer for Beginners". The e-book does not live up to the name. The information is not for a beginner at all. But yet, the author delivers an excessive amount of information on the topic. This clearly shows the amount of effort and time put into this e-book.



[img]http://upit.cc/images/50e1b4f4.png[/img]
1/5
The author states that this e-book is easier for beginners with no knowledge of experience what so ever. This e-book is not easy for beginners in anyway, shape, or form. If you know knowledge about computers but have a little trouble with them then this e-book is right for you. I suggest if you are a beginner do not buy this e-book. The e-book in this category deserves the lowest grade possible.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/aea97688.png[/img]
3.5/5
The layout of the e-book is colorful but some aspects are very plain. For instance, the author does not use colors in the text. The text is all black including the links to websites. The background of the e-book is all white. It spreads the author's name in the e-book for copyright information. The author includes some pictures to help the reader out. In this category, the e-book receives a 3.5.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/5fe7ea0d.png[/img]
4.0/5
This e-book has a some grammatical errors. Some grammatical errors that the reader will notice. There are some misspelled words and punctuation errors. These errors are not that harsh to make the e-book overall grade go down. In this category, the e-book receives a 4.0 out of 5.

[img]http://upit.cc/images/a7bd16f6.png[/img]
1.2/5
The reason that the e-book received a low score in this category is because this has been done before many times. Even thou the reader includes some new information that any other e-book has not used yet, it is a .2 extra points. I have seen and reviewed many other e-books on this topic. It has been done before. In this category, this e-book had received a 1.2.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/99eae7f1.png[/img]
I suggest to the author that he/she should make another e-book based for only beginners. On the other hand, the information was superb. I had to deduct .1 point because the e-book did not live up to the name. Instead it was for intermediate to advanced readers. Keep up the good work!


I Hope everyone a good luck on the applications!

Review (Ratings on a scale of 1-5): 3.2/5
Title: "How to spread using a Java drive-by."
==

[img]http://upit.cc/images/82278841.png[/img] 3.5/5 Ebook has average information about the method but author gave all links of tools and sites that you need to start with this. Java drive-by isn't hard to make and it doesn't need big explanation. This method is plausible and it can be done.
[img]http://upit.cc/images/aea97688.png[/img]2.5/5 Layout has links and pictures that can help you with method. He used colors in it, too. I gave 2.5 because of .txt format which is very unprofessional.
[img]http://upit.cc/images/5fe7ea0d.png[/img] 4/5 I found mistakes in spelling and punctuation although ebook is fully readable and you don't need high English skills for it. He made a big effort about paragraphing.
[img]http://upit.cc/images/50e1b4f4.png[/img] 3/5 Author didn't go by steps so it's pretty confusing to get around with information he gave us. If you try little harder to find steps you can make it. Method don't have auto-pilot and you need to do everything by yourself. The author could have gone more deeper with his steps. You don't need large amount of time to do this. Everyone knows that you can't have 5000 victims within 1 day, it takes time whatever method was.
[img]http://upit.cc/images/a7bd16f6.png[/img] 3/5 If you have some experience in Java drive by this method won't be something new to you. You can find lots of ebooks about this method and they are almost the same. Method is only explained on a different way.
[img]http://upit.cc/images/99eae7f1.png[/img] If you are total beginner and you have some money that you don't need you could buy this. However you can find eboks similar to this for free if you search on the internet harder. If you have some knowledge about Java drive by you won't need this. Sales thread is done to look professional but not the same is done to ebook, unfortunately.

==

I would be so happy if I get to your group. It's my dream to become HF Reviewer. In that way I can help members by reviewing ebooks, giving my personal opinion about ebook and helping them to decide what ebook is best for them because we have many leeched and/or ripped ebooks which are selling on our HF ebook bazaar.

Good luck to everyone with their applications.

E-Book Title: How to earn $250 a day!
Author: The 1337 Hacker
Number of Pages: 46
Price: $8
Resale rights: None
Payment methods: PayPal, Liberty Reserve, AlertPay, trades.
Reviewer: SpiderPC

Review on a scale from 1 to 5
=========================================

[IMG]http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7269/quality.png[/IMG]

2.5/5 : This e-Book contains 3 methods on how you could supposedly make over $200 a day online. The methods are known, difficult and need a lot of work and time. However, they do work and you will indeed make some good money. Everything is very well explained.

=========================================

[IMG]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1854/easeofuse.png[/IMG]

1/5 : The methods in this e-Book are very challenging to understand and to apply. Inexperienced money-makers will most definitely have issues using this guide. This is not at all auto-pilot. A lot of time and work is needed to successfully earn money with these methods. But everything is well explained and there are lots of pictures included.


=========================================


[IMG]http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/158/layoutwm.png[/IMG]

4.5/5 : Despite this e-Book being in .DOC format, the layout is simply amazing. Sleek, simple, colorful, that's all there is to it. The layout is one of the main things that makes this e-Book worth buying.

=========================================


[IMG]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5713/grammar.png[/IMG]

5/5 : The 1337 Hacker did a great job writing this e-Book. There was not a single spelling or grammatical mistake. There were no "internet" words such as "lol, wtf, kk", etc. It is obvious that he wrote this very carefully, double-checking for errors. Very pleasant to read. 🀝

=========================================


[IMG]http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5548/originality.png[/IMG]

2/5 : Being rather experienced in online moneymaking and having purchased several e-Books, these methods are definitely not new to me. One of the methods is publicly available. Only one method is slightly original (modified existing method.)

=========================================


[IMG]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4858/notesm.png[/IMG]

Overall, this e-Book isn't too bad. There are some very low but very high points. I wouldn't suggest buying it if you want to make a few quick bucks, but if you are hardworking and have some time on your hands, then go for it!
My rating is: 3.5/5

~SpiderPC

I truly hope I get accepted as a reviewer. I meet all requirements, and I spend a lot of time on HackForums each day.

Title: Successfully spreading your Java Driveby
Price: $10
Author: Micheal
Reviewer: Sophrosyne

[IMG]http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7269/quality.png[/IMG]
The quality of said eBooks information is amazing, all of the methods are unique, and to top that off the Author goes out of his way to make sure everything is well-explained and easy to understand. And as a bonus the Author explained how Java drive by's work, and how to set them up successfully.

5/5

[IMG]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1854/easeofuse.png[/IMG]
All the methods are reasonable, as well as logical, I wouldn't call them anything to fancy, but if everything is executed as instructed, the outcome of success in terms of capturing victims will be higher than originally expected.

4/5


[IMG]http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/158/layoutwm.png[/IMG]
Micheal, I must say you struggled in this field, the layout was rather messy, and you did not include any form of design, in the future you really need to make Layout a priority, yes, your eBook is rich in information, but it is always good to make an attempt at capturing the readers attention, so they do not get bored, or begin to doubt the "class" of your work.

1/5


[IMG]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5713/grammar.png[/IMG]
Grammar was not an issue, everything seemed to be spelled correctly, on top of that the information being provided made sense, your sentence structure was spot-on.

5/5


[IMG]http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5548/originality.png[/IMG]
As I stated in the beginning all methods were unique, none involved the obvious such as spreading via YouTube, or even spreading via torrent. I was appalled when I came discover how unknown and successful Micheal's methods actually were.

5/5

[IMG]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4858/notesm.png[/IMG]
To summarize, the sophistication & creativity of Micheal's eBook is strong in terms of explanation and honesty. All instructions are realistic, and I can say the same about the results. And if you do not believe me, purchase this eBook, and find out : ). I have confidence in the fact you will not be disappointed.

E-Book: How to spread using Java drive-by

Author: Mad Joe

Reviewer: phire nuk3r

[img]http://i27.[censored].com/2551kdu.png[/img]

4/5
The overall information provided is Excellent.
This E-Book gets to the point in a simple and easy to understand manor.

[img]http://i30.[censored].com/975usp.png[/img]

3/5This guide is very easy to understand, but this is based on the fact the user would have a little information on drive-by's and basic spreading techniques already.
Users reading this with no prior knowledge may struggle to understand certain aspects of this E-Book.

[img]http://i28.[censored].com/2i27fah.png[/img]

5/5
The layout IMO is superb. The sections are clearly defined with nice readable font and color.

[img]http://i25.[censored].com/1t39cj.png[/img]

5/5
Flawless grammar, and a pleasure to read.

[img]http://i31.[censored].com/1z686c3.png[/img]

4/5
This is not 100% unique, however it does have a unique twist, therefore enhancing the known techniques and giving an originality of its own.

[img]http://i29.[censored].com/n3oy7b.png[/img]

I found this E-Book in intriguing and a pleasure to read. I would advise that buyers would need some basic understanding of drive-by's and spreading to fully understand this E-Book.

Rating: 5/5 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
Quality of Information:
This E-book doesn't really go into detail about setting up a Drive-By, but the spreading methods are what it's all about, and it's full to the brim. After sifting through 3 pages of an introduction, we got right to the point, and it was very intriguing, even for a WhiteHat member.

[img]http://i30.[censored].com/975usp.png[/img]
Rating: 4/5 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
Ease of Use:
It's fairly simple to use, the author has provided several helpful links and has filled it with tonnes of images. It's extremely straight forward, you'd have to be a fool to misunderstand it.

Rating: 2/5 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
Layout:
To be quite honest the layout within this ebook was a huge disappointment, there is a lot of images, but not one of them seems to be set out properly, there is no colour co-ordination, subtitles or index/glossary. The only good thing is that it's in a .pdf.

[img]http://i25.[censored].com/1t39cj.png[/img]
Rating: 2/5 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
Grammar:
Grammar is also another disappointment, as there's a lot of mistakes. If English isn't your first language, then this E-Book really isn't for you. If you think you can decipher it, go for it, it's not too difficult after a while.

[img]http://i31.[censored].com/1z686c3.png[/img]
Rating: 4/5 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
Originality:
Even though this is one of the most highly written about topics, this is the only E-book with this kind of information that I have seen on HackForums, whether it is of the authors own information or not it doesn't really matter, so I would have to say it's pretty damn original.

[img]http://i29.[censored].com/n3oy7b.png[/img]
Notes / Extra comments: This is a good E-book to buy if you've mastered the basics of using drive-bys, just make sure to check for grammar errors so you don't get lost.

Overall Rating: 3/5

==========================

Yes this is the same review from the other thread, I'm hoping you will see that this review is suitable enough for you to at least overlook the negative reputation I have. You know my feelings on this, and you know the reasoning behind it. I do want to be a reviewer, good luck to the other applicants.

Title: "The most successful methods of spreading"
Author: Panorama
Price: $5
Reviewer: Decoy

[img]http://upit.cc/images/82278841.png[/img]
4/5

Although most of the information provided in this Ebook is easily accessible, the Author did a great job in explaining everything with such precise detail. The Author provides numerous methods on spreading, teaching you the most effective methods. Panorama doesn't just tell you step but step what to do, he explains why the method works, and what aspects make them work.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/50e1b4f4.png[/img]
5/5

There are no flaws in this Ebook, if you read thoroughly and follow the steps in the correct order, you can't make a mistake. It's well detailed, and easy to follow. You can honestly start spreading within your first half hour. Some of the methods may take longer then others, but all the methods are working.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/aea97688.png[/img]
5/5

The layout is actually very well done, you can tell Author put a lot of work into it. The Ebook is given in a PDF format. All the steps are pictured in the correct order, showing exactly what is needed. Important factors stand out. It's easy on the eyes. As the reader, I had know trouble following this Ebook.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/5fe7ea0d.png[/img]
4/5

There are few grammatical errors, none are actually noticeable unless you closely look for them. The sentence structure is also impeccable.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/a7bd16f6.png[/img]
3/5

Well, lets me be honest, most of the methods are known. This is not uncommon for an Ebook on this topic, as the best ways of spreading are fairly common. What is unique about this method, is how the Author puts everything together. Some Ebooks present you with good methods, but they don't always set them up the most effective way. If you follow this Ebook correctly, your pretty much guaranteed to be spreading using the most effective means.


[img]http://upit.cc/images/99eae7f1.png[/img]
Overall Rating: 4/5

It works as described, and the price is right. How can I not recommend it? The price is probably cheaper then most like it, but the information provided is truly great. If you follow the steps, you will be successful at spreading. You will know the most effective methods in spreading. And you will have acquired a skill that is actually worth knowing.

Thank you for looking over my review. I did work very hard on it, as I would intend to do with all the ebooks I review. I would love to become a reviewer as this is something I enjoy and take pride in doing. I love to read and write. Throughout High School and even into College I've written various articles for several small Publishing's. This is truly something I enjoy doing.

I will never be biased when reviewing, nobody will sway me from the truth. I won't be the type of Reviewer that gives every ebook a high rating, for the wrong reasons. I will rate as I see fit. I will be difficult on some Authors, as their costumers and readers deserve to know the truth. I would truly love to become a reviewer, as it's something I've strived for since I became active here at HackForums. I've applied on a few Reviewer application threads now. I really hope you take me into consideration, it would mean a lot to me.

Regards,

Title : Comet's Sick Spreading Guide
Price : $18
Pages : 38
Author : CometJack
Reviewer : Theref

Short Description : This is a 38-paged ebook about how to spread your virus, rats, bot, or etc effectively on the internet. There are 25 methods explained in the ebook for you to choose on. Oh and yes, He also give additional tips about how to make your files FUD by hexing and another stuffs.

5/5 [img]http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7269/quality.png[/img] I must admit that this ebook has very high quality. It contains 25 methods of spreading and every methods are unique each others. And 25 methods IS ALOT! And they are sorted from the difficulty, from easiest to hardest methods, very interesting. I'll give it 5

5/5 [img]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1854/easeofuse.png[/img] If you ask me how easy to grasp the contents of this ebook, I must said, It's very EASY to understand. Even someone with 2 digits IQ can comprehend it (I'm joking for this one). Every methods explained very well and detailed along with the screenshots so I'm sure you won't mess up with this one. And he also sort the methods by difficulty, this is good, make it more easier to understand. All you need is just read it well, and spare some time to read it since it has a lot of pages to read on. But don't worry, It won't bore you, since what you are going to read isn't a 100% boring plain text, a lot usage of screenshots

5/5 [img]http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/158/layoutwm.png[/img] From what I've seen from this ebook, the layout is quite pretty. The first page is dedicated for the cover and titles, and some nice images. While the seconds contains table of contents so you won't get lost inside. And the massive usage of screenshots and how he place them on the ebook is amazing, well balanced. Not too much images, not too much text, and informative

5/5 [img]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5713/grammar.png[/img] I didn't find any grammar mistakes in this ebook. There are some typo errors, but probably noone notice that, and it won't hurt. So, I'll give it 5

4/5 [img]http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5548/originality.png[/img] From 25 methods that unveiled from this ebook, I found 3 of them are already explained on this forums, and the rest 22 methods are quite brilliant and impressive, involving new perspective on the world of spreading. But, although some of them already explained in HF, but still, 22 original methods is awesome.
